Help Save Sariaya and its Many Unknown Important Heritage sites from Road Widening


Help Save Sariaya and its Many Unknown Important Heritage sites from Road Widening
The Issue
The Sariaya Heritage Council, Sariaya, Quezon hereby Petition the DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson:
1.) On the 19th Century Spanish adobe Masonry at Que-anuang Bridge, we petition the DPWH to save the surviving portions of adobe bricks by altering the bridge's design to let people see this masonry as historical relic.
2) to spare the almost 100 year old Municipal Cemetery of Sariaya from road widening. It was a silent witness to the courage and valour of Filipino Guerillas fighting against the retreating Japanese forces of the 1945 liberation. This Municipal Cemetery of Sariaya will become dust of Oblivion if we just remain silent.
3.) to save the tomb of Briccio O. Reynoso, he was a Quezon Medalya ng Karangalan Posthumous Awardee, the first and Only Quezonian that ever represented the Province of Quezon in International Competiton.
4) to save the 100 year old Kalachuchi Tree and several tombs dating as far as the year 1910 for Ecological and Historical reasons, respectively. They were silent witnesses to the unfolding of Sariaya's History; they are important icons of Sariaya's heritage and history.
Let us not forget our Past, let us strike a balance between Development and progress so we may never be condemned to repeat the errors of History....
